HB 3493 did not receive a work session prior to today’s deadline. Any bills that haven’t already received hearings or work session before the deadline are essentially dead – going nowhere. This bill of Rep. Fagan’s is one of them.

This bill and hearing are an obvious attempt by Rep. Fagan to play CYA – because she realizes that her vote on March 26th was a bad vote.

Translation: Fagan used a valuable priority bill that could have been used to help her constituents with sidewalk funding, addressed public safety issues like human trafficking or helped our schools – to instead provide her political cover for making your children’s contact information available to political advocacy organizations. She relies on The Bus Project and other organizations that use children as door-to-door canvassers – for re-election.

The only thing her priority bill is a priority for – is her re-election campaign.
